Hezy Shaked, a former Israel Navy officer, and his wife, Tilly Levine, opened "World of Jeans and Tops" in Los Alamitos, California in 1982. Shaked later renamed the store "Tilly’s" after his wife. The couple divorced in 1989, but Levine continued to work for the company as director of vendor relations.[4] The company went public in May 2012, raising $124 million through its initial public offering of stock.[4]
